SUMMARY

The VERINFO utility provides version information about many of the drivers, dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), and executable files provided with Microsoft Multimedia Windows. VERINFO in installed in the main Multimedia Windows directory (by default, C:\MMWIN).

MORE INFORMATION

After VERINFO is running, double-click the name of a file to view the file's version information. VERINFO then provides a drop-down list box and prompts for specific information. By default, VERINFO gives the version number.

For example, if the user requests information about the MMSYSTEM.DLL file, VERINFO provides a series of bits in the Value edit control, as follows:

0001 0000 0000 0096

This number represents version 1 of the software, build 96 (beta). This information varies depending on the build of the software that is installed.

This information can be useful to determine whether a particular driver requires updating. It is also useful to verify that all portions of the product are from the same release.
